Today I was looking at a photo of someones engine bay and I noticed the PCV valve on my car is on the wrong outlet on the cam cover.

So the PCV is on the right and the pipe coming from the crank is on the left as you look on the block, It should be the other way.
What differences are there on the inside of the two ports on the cam cover?
I've read the port to the PCV has some galleries under a plate on the cover and I'm guessing the port on the cover to the crank breather is just open on the inside to allow gasses to pass easily?
I take it this is the reason for my oil in the intake issue.
I tried swapping them over but the pipe coming from the crank has hardened so now won't go on the larger barb on the cover.
